Trump Calls Catching COVID-19 “A Blessing From God” In White House Video
After spending a few days in the hospital receiving treatment for COVID-19, President Donald Trump is back in the White House. America’s controversial leader has been reguarly updating his world audience since he was released from Walter Reed Hospital, and just hours ago he returned with a video where he spoke about his treatment, his plans for coronavirus patients currently battling COVID-19, and why he believes his diagnosis was a “blessing in disguise.”

“Perhaps you recognize me, it’s your favorite president, and I’m standing in front of the Oval Office at the White House which is always an exciting place to be,” said Trump. “I got back a day ago from Walter Reed medical center. I spent four days there. Didn’t have to. I could have stayed at the White House but the doctor said because you’re President, let’s do it. I said fine. You tell me what to do and I’m gonna listen.”
He praised the doctoral staff at Walter Reed before giving a nod to all hospital care and law enforcement workers, as well as firefighters around the country. “I went in, I wasn’t feeling so hot and within a very short period of time, they gave me Regeneron and other things, too. I think this was the key. But they gave me Regeneron and it was like, unbelievable. I felt good immediately. I felt as good three days ago as I do now.”
The President added that he authorized the emergency use of Regeneron and other drugs to help those in dire need, stating that they would be available for free. He also gave an update on companies who have been working on finding a COVID-19 vaccaine, but said in the meantime, he wants to see citizen treated with the same care that he received.
“I want everybody to be given the same treatment as your President,” Trump said. “‘Cause I feel great. I feel like, perfect. So, I think this was a blessing from God that I caught it. This was a blessing in disguise. I caught it, I heard about this drug, I said let me take it, it was my suggestion, and it was incredible the way it worked.” Watch his update in its entirety below.

E.G. Phillips unveils where silence speaks the loudest on new release “Empathy for the Night Fly”
The mood of E.G. PHILLIPS’s “Empathy for the Night Fly” is instantly cinematic, dark, introspective, and frozen in time. The track sounds like a scene from a late-night club where everything slows down just enough for feelings to come out. The arrangement is jazz-like in that it lets each part breathe. The arpeggiating Rhodes piano comes and goes, giving the impression that the music is thinking, as if it’s moving.
The song is really about recognition, which is when you hear something in someone else’s voice that reminds you of your own experience. It’s subtle, almost fragile, but it has a big effect on people. That emotional connection is what holds the piece together.
That choice seems deliberate, even defiant. It asks the listener to pay attention differently, not just passively. Every break is a part of the story. E.G. Phillips doesn’t just make the mood; he keeps it going. In that space, “Empathy for the Night Fly” becomes a quiet, powerful look at memory, connection, and shared feelings.

Firecamino maintains folk storytelling with new release “Juan The Baptist”
“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.
The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.
“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.
